Default Re: Small pocket pairs. Am I leaking

I almost always 3 bet 99.

As for 88 - 22 you don't want to cold call a raise with out some insurance that others are going to see the flop with you. Usually 3 - 4 on the flop is enough to make up the needed bets post flop.

Small PPs make money one of two ways. Either they flop a set against a lot of people and drag a huge pot or against one opponent and wins by dodging at least 5 outs sometimes as many as 3 times.

Mostly you should be folding 88 - 22 to a raise if it's to you unless you are comfortable 3 betting it to get it HU and then getting it on post flop, which is way harder to do profitably.
